Influence of complex coupled factors in BZ reaction

Abstract

In this paper, the influence of the complex coupling factors on the oscillation taking place in the (Belousov–Zhabotinsky) BZ reaction has been studied. By analyzing the oscillation process of the BZ reaction from both the non-equilibrium thermodynamic and dynamic methods, it is found that if the complex coupling effects in the entire reaction system are strong enough, the steady state of the system will lose its stability; obviously, in this case, the dissipative structure is more likely to appear in the system, and the larger the complex coupling effects are, the easier the steady state of the system is to lose its stability, so it can be concluded that the complex couple factors make their most important contributions to the oscillation phenomena of the BZ reaction. Furthermore, it is also found that one of the complex coupling factors is related to the strength of this self-catalyst reaction.
